Karachi: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain’s remarks about Pakistan’s founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah has caused social media outrage on Thursday.

The MQM chief, while addressing his party workers in Karachi, said Mr Jinnah, better known as Quaid-i-Azam, took oath of allegiance to British King George VI. As a proof, Hussain read out the oath taken by Mr Jinnah after assuming charge of the governor general and said he held a British passport.

He also read a provision of Indian Independence Act 1947 which stated that the office of Governor-General in each of the two new countries (Pakistan and India), as representative of the Crown.

Twitter was abuzz during and after Hussain’s speech, with most of people saying that he allegedly compared himself to Mr Jinnah and tried to justify his dual nationality.

Below are some of the tweets showing how the speech ruffled a few feathers:

Tonight the founding father has received Altaf’s drone attacks!This is a serious assault.

There should be a ban on any politician invoking the name and spirit of Jinnah. Sick of pygmies using him for their own twisted purposes. — cyril almeida (@cyalm) January 10, 2013

Mr Altaf Hussain is distorting history by comparing his status as British citizen with the oath taken by the Quaid in 1947 — Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) January 10, 2013

MQM ldr reveals his true colours by attaclking Quaid-i-Azam & his shameless party ppl listen obediently like a herd of sheep! — Shireen Mazari (@ShireenMazari1) January 10, 2013

Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. No, don’t even try to do the comparison. With any living or deceased leader of #Pakistan. Enough already.

I think people are acting absolutelyin a senseless way or they are trying to do tit for tat.

Quaid-e-Azam, no doubt about him. He was having British Passport – No issue but think for what ever reason he took the oath to be loyal to King – he took the oath and this is fact. The point is taking oath to be loyal to King does NOT mean that you are NOT loyal to your country.

These days politicians and TV anchors are presenting Dual Nationality as a symbol of being anti Pakistan or not loyal to Pakistan but loyal to a country which nationality the person hold as the dual nationals have to take oath for that country.

If Dual Nationality is that bad thing then why it is allowed in constitution to have dual nationality.

If Dual Nationality is that bad then why these politicans go the dual nationals to collect donations like recently Mr. Imran Khan was collecting money from overseas Pakistanies in UK and USA.

If Dual Nationality is that bad thing then why these politicians says that overseas Pakistanis are our asset.

The fact is all politicians and TV anchors are hypocrite. They never have ONE instance on the same issue when its in their interest and when its in opponents’ interest.

Sorry to say but in my opinion those people who are calling it “Drone against Quaid-e-Azam” are the people who are not realistic.

No one can change Past. Accept it as a reality and fact.

The fact is “Quaid-e-Azam took the oath to be loyal to British King and his successors”. No one can deny this.

The wise, the intelligent, the Religious Taharul Qadri’s association with this scum of the earth is questionable - for you know what they say – birds of same feather flock together.To save his reputation and error of judgement Qadri must issue a statement disassociating himself from this lunatic person in order to save his reputation .

This man is not even worth the dirt under the feet of our
great Quaid Mohammed Ali Jinnah. He is suffering delusions of grandeur. He has
turned Karachi into another killing fields, may his own people see him for what
he really is a megalomaniac like Kim Jong of North Korea and just as crazy.

  You check yourself. You are no way close al Mr. Altaf Hussain who is after all a leader of many people. Before saying anything to him, compare yourself with this great leader, as you come close to his toilet paper, a shit wiper, that’s how you are to a great leader of today.
  In fact, people in Pakistan are hypocrite as you statment shows. Today you all say “No one above the law”…”Rules should be same for all”….If Quaid-e-Azam took the oath to be loyal to British King, its ok….if million of overseas pakistanies took oath, its ok and these overseas pakistanies are asset and sending revenue to the country so there should not be any doubt on the loyality of Mr Altaf and Mr. Qadri.
  Mr. Altaf is in UK to protect his life because the country of Quaid-e-Azam is not capable of protecting him and give his justice. if you are muslim then you must know you have to protect your life. His followers love him and they want their leader live and they don’t want him to come to Pakistan till its a lawful country and not a country run by establishment.
  Read history, all great politicians have seeked asylum in their life.
  try to accept realities and fact and dont behave like typical mis-guided pakistani who never accept fact beause it’s not in his interest. think what internationally is valid.
